Just watch the film Threads (1984, currently on BBC Iplayer) and you will certainly be in the ground zero crowd, it does not present an enticing view of the after effects

Not just the water. We're in a worse position to survive now than in the 50s, everything ,- gas, electricity, water, transport, communications, etc. - all computer controlled which will be wiped out by EMP.

Civilisation as we know it will collapse in the event of nuclear war. Road and rail networks will be blocked, and if not they will be under the control of the military. There will be no electricity or water. Phone? Forget it, you will be on your own, unable to contact anyone. You may be able to receive text messages, until your battery goes flat, from 'The Authorities' telling you what to do under Marshal Law.
If you survive the blast, the firestorm and the fallout you will become a scavenger living off whatever you can find. I suggest you print off some of @viago's recipes while you still can.

I think it's 12 meals, not two. Two would be quite an over reaction.

Have you seen some of the modern specimens they look like they have never missed a extra meal in their lives.

Viago and his cooking should be available on the NHS. That would sort that issue out.

Ive got a spring which comes out of the mountain behind my house, so hopefully we’ll filtered. Ruabon mountain between us and liverpool. The prevailing wind is from the sw so no big targets that way to pollute us. Honda genny while still got petrol, inverter of the diesel car battery to play with. Solar panel and lithium batteries in to the equation plus a 7kw wood burner. Plenty of wood on my land plus a stock of prepared wood. Pump up air gun for squirrels etc, Plenty of sheep around as well.
Gas supply, how long will the supply last if a vacuum pump put on the inlet?
Septic tank that has never needed emptying, old fashioned that works properly. So the issue is carbs. Ideas?

IIRC, ten years after Chernobyl, Welsh and Cumbrian sheep/lambs were still facing restrictions and, compared to nuclear war, Chernobyl was a minor incident.

Have you ever lived on an island when the ferry has been cancelled for two days in a row? In fact a bad weather forecast is enough to clear the essential shelves in Tescos.

It doesn't have to be an island.
Within hours of the Covid lock down the shelves of our local Waitrose were denuded of essentials such as tiramisu and chardonnay.

Chardonnay keeps but tiramisu has a small life ! My neck of the woods it was toilet paper and fresh veg.
